That depends. The 600+ British cavalry soldiers that charged the lines carried sabers and light infantry weapons. The Russian lines they charged and died against were armed with infantry weapons and modern (for that time) artillery pieces. The largest caliber weapon the British troops could have carried would have been .753, fired from the 1842 rifled musket, the smallest was .577, fired from the 1853 Enfield Musket. Ammunition would have been expended relatively quickly into their 3/4 mile charge, and reloading would have been extremely difficult at full charge under full artillery fusilade. The Russians, however, were firing nonstop with guns as large as 8 inch, with shells (explosive rounds) and shot (solid projectiles) from 8 inch ball to canister (containing grape--sort of the cannon equivalent to buckshot) and possibly chain or bar shot since naval guns and munitions were the Russians' goal to protect. The links below connect to pictures of similar weapons British cavalry troops would have carried.
